You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have a triangle where the angles are given as 46 degrees, x and y. The sides adjacent to y are equal to each other. I am asked to solve for angles x and y

I can't believe how I screwed this one up, it should be:
:
If the sides adjacent to y are equal, it's an isoceles triangle; therefore
angles 46 and x are equal:
x = 46 degrees also
y = 180 - 46 - 46
y = 88 degrees

I am sorry! Carl
